Star Trek: A Strange New World This week, the transition from a sci-fi series to a mean sketch show was completed. This happens when the episode “Space Adventure Time” begins in a sketch comedy order, and looks like it belongs Saturday Night Live. The main goal of the sketch? To viciously mock William Shatner.
Sketching is a straightforward and crazy magazine style Star Trek: Original Series imitation, with overdose, dialogue and John Belushi-inspired line delivery.
This is a clip from an episode.
This episode is about a one-off adventure, but the sketch isn’t done on Holodeck. It is not clear where the sketches in the context of the series take place. There is no real explanation or reason except for some Holodeck characters saying they have done TV shows.
The part that makes no sense in the plot of the show is the course, and the writing is getting lower and lower A strange new world. This is a ridicule against the original Trek series.
Paul Wesley, who played James Kirk on the show, turned into an extreme parody of William Shatner. His performance is no different from John Belushi making fun of him, just like him SNL In the 1970s.

The show’s cast and producers will undoubtedly try to use it as a kind of homage, but if there is a line between imitation and homage, then the sequence will certainly cross it.
A strange new world As the show continues on the show, it becomes more and more strange. Initially, it was a solid Star Trek series about exploring. Today, it is mainly a deliberate farce filled with musical numbers and vaudeville performances, which seem to be designed primarily for entertaining actors, with the audience being cursed.
Now, I think this is Shatner too.
William Shatner usually says what he wants, so in recent years, the Hollywood type of Hollywood type has started to mark him as having problems. Paramount has even been removing him from his trek marketing material. Maybe it’s the show’s way of pasting it on him, or such nonsense.
We may never know why they actually do this, and they will pretend it is a respect until the bitter ending. But that’s not the case, and everyone who sees it knows it. Only hillside hikers will be convinced.
